We had a delagation of Qantas here in HK about a month ago and I was advising on service readiness, based on CX experience.. .. .Basically on any FBW Airbus, follow the TSM step by step. Make use of the PFR and the MCDU functions.. .. .The A330's going to Oz will have the latest landing gear, flight controls and bleed enhancements, and the custom cargo loading system you are getting from Telair (a la Boeing freighter) should both keep unions and LAME's happy.. .. .The less paper cockpit concept and the HUD which Qantas have specified are a bit novel and if you ask me it is in those areas you are likely to get most glitches, as they are bolt-on third-party goodies.. .Thankfully the aircraft is finally getting mature - I have been working in Design and Tech Services on the A330/A340 since 1993, so believe me the aircraft you will be getting will be streets ahead of what went into service in 1993.
